How to Add Outlook Account to Mac Mail

Are you looking to add your Outlook account to your Mac's Mail app? Look no further! In this article, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of setting up your Outlook account on your Mac.

First and foremost, note that we are referring to using email addresses here, not the Outlook mail application itself. If you're configuring Outlook with another email app, you may need the server information provided below.

To begin, open the Mail app on your Mac and click on 'Add Account' in the menu bar. Then, select 'Other Mail Account...' and click Continue.

Next, enter the name associated with your Outlook account, your email address, and your password. Click 'Sign In' to add your email account to Mail.

Alternatively, you can also go to 'Mail' > 'Add Account' from the menu bar to add a new email account.

Once you've entered your account information, the Mac Mail app should automatically detect the proper email server settings. However, if you need to provide manual server information for any reason, here are the email servers and port numbers for IMAP, POP, SMTP, and outbound mail:

* Outgoing SMTP server: Port 587

It's worth noting that the Mail app on Mac may not require this information, but having it readily available can be helpful in case you need to configure your account manually.

After adding your Outlook account to Mail, you can set the default email account that gets used when sending emails from your Mac. This way, you can ensure that all your outgoing emails are sent from the correct account.

That's it! Your email address is now ready to use on your Mac. If you have an iPhone or iPad, you may also want to add the same email account to Mail for iOS and iPadOS.

Remember, if you have multiple email accounts configured on Mail for Mac, you can easily remove any old or outdated accounts by deleting them from the app.

By following these simple steps, you should be able to successfully add your Outlook account to your Mac's Mail app.
